couple, us we him her.

Make's you realise how insignificant we are in terms of the life of the world.

Dinosaurs ruled this planet for 165 MILLION years they went extinct around 65 million years ago.

First human life is only around 300 thousand years old.

We are babies by comparison.

Yep, but another way of looking at this achieved more than any other species, invented millions of things, culture, religion, art, music and travelled beyond our planet , all in just the last 10k years , so extraordinarily significant….

And when you think the planet is 4 billion years old, what was happening in the 3.5 billion years before dinosaurs. Human existence is just a flash in the pan

Does any of it mean much though if we don’t colonise distant worlds &/or make contact with aliens before we make ourselves extinct?

It's why I kind of laugh when people say that humans are killing the planet. The planet will be fine; we, on the other hand, would be fucked.

If you compressed Earth's 4.5 billion-year history into a single 24-hour day, humanity's existence would barely register on the clock. In this timeline, humans wouldn't appear until 11:58:43 PM.

And finding another planet with life on it is very unlikely if you consider the timeliness that have to align.

Greenpeace used to do a leaflet condensing our 4.6 billion year old planet into 46 years:

‘The Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

Let's scale that to 46 years.

We've been here for 4 hours.

Since then we've destroyed more than a third of the world's forests.

Half of that happened in the last minute’

Agreed, it’s complete arrogance for us to believe our presence is affecting the planet, I worry more about the next meteor (currently think about it zero times a day) than any climate change theory.

Here are a couple of wibbly wobbly timeywimy facts that blew my mind.

Dinosaurs were around for so long that there were dinosaurs in the deep fossil record, at the same time as there were dinosaurs roaming the earth.

And, a more recent one

Stonehenge was older to the Roman empire, than the Roman empire is to us.

One more sobering thought:

Top 4 chemically active elements in your body by quantity:

- Hydrogen

- Oxygen

- Carbon

- Nitrogen

Top 4 Elements of the "usual matter" in the Universe:

- Hydrogen (and Helium - chemically inert)

- Oxygen

- Carbon

- Nitrogen

All elements in our bodies (except Hydrogen) were forged at the heart of massive stars that exploded their enriched guts out into Cosmos, and then elemental dust bunnies (planets) were formed around 2nd-3rd gen stars. We are made of Star Dust (or fusion ash)
